About NeWspnper Advertising.

\ word or two, as to advertising:
In your dealings with the advertiser
your advertising columns are your
stock in trade. Whatever is fit to
publish in your paper for the pecuniary
benefit of any person or corporation
is advertising matter and should be
unhesita tingly branded and classified
as such, and should pay accordingly.

poets the newspaper to donate the
notice of an excursion but he will hire
the steamboat, band. or the carriages,
and never dreams of getting them for
nothing. Ladies will ask the news
papers not only to donate advertising
for church entertainment. but with
charming frankness which is fiatterine

To the Farmers of Iowa County.

BE sure to cut all your corn this fall

how as your neighbors will need the

If you save the fodder by cutting it
with feed cutter, the stock will eat it

to spare to your less fortunate neigh
borS.
Iou must must make radical
change in your manner of stock feed

You cannot compete with Texas grass

in it. Sugar has been made from dry
stalks in the state of Illinois, thus
settling the question beyond doubt
There is much nutriment in corn

GREAT INTERNATIONAL CONTEST OF

TO TIE MCCORMICK MACHINE.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE most important
international contest of Irvine binders
which was ever held on the Cont
nent has just been concluded at Etre-
pagny. The trial lasted several days,
and was characterized by the utmost
fairness, the judges being leading ag-
riculturists of France. The first prize
was awarded to an American machine
(the Mccormick over all competitors.
All the principal English and Amer
lean machines competed, including the
Hornsby, the leaning English Irvine
binder. y desperate effort was made
by the leading English machines to
prevent America from winning, but
the judges unanimously awarded the
first prize, a gold medal and 300 francs,

Eighty four Mccormick binders
were sold in Iowa county during the

Birthday Compliments.
The Grant County Democrat.


The Iowa County Democrat became
"of age" last week. Under adverse
circumstances, in conjunction with
John Heron, we started that paper
soon after the war when the county
was largely republican. 1t has grown
steadily, and under its present man
agement it has become one of the best
papers in the state.
The Lancaster Teller.
The Iowa County Democrat is
twenty one years old. Its present pro-
prietors have been with it nearly the
whole time. Under their manage
ment the paper has been well sus-
tanned, and they have endeavored to
give paper "pure in tone and eleva-
ted in character" and though avOwedly
democratic the paper has been credit
ably Independent.
The La Crosse Chronicle.
Last week the Mineral Point Dem
ocrat had its twenty-first birthday. In
an article reviewing its history we find
the following paragraph that has the
kind of stuff in that makes the dem
ocratic party of to-day strong:
Politically, The Democrat has been
and will continue to be an independ-
ent newspaper supporting democratic
principles. We endeavOr to follow the
teachings of the democratic fathers,
in which are to be found the highest
and best principles of constitutional
government; but we always interpret
those teachings and apply them to
new issues in the light of our own
understanding, even if by 50 doing
our position is not always in accord
with that of the party caucus or con-
ventiOn."
The Democrat is one Of the papers
that teaches democratic principles, not
pot house politics, and the more such
papers, the better for the party.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1887-08-19
In another column of The Democrat

In another column of The Democrat
will be found an article from Il CORES
pendent who advises the farmers of
this section to save all of their corn
stalks, and cut them with feed cutter
for winter feed for their cattle. The
matter of course feed for winter is
of the greatest Importance to stock
raiserS this season. With II fair amount
of fodder, and little hay they can
easily winter their stock as there will
he fair crop of corn; and besides
corn or ground feed can be shipped at
no very great cost, while shipping hay
is losing business. The time to
make hay is while the sun shines; but
when there is little or no hay to make.
the time to secure supply of fodder
is before frost sets in, and the fields
and pastures are covered with snow.
In saving the fodder there is an i'm
portant point which the farmers should
not overlook. 1t will require a great
deal of labor, and in most cases an
extra number of hands to cut and
save the corn stalks as they should bs
saved. But it will be far better and
wiser to pay out little extra
for help during the fall season than
TO pay out far larger amount in
freights and profits on baled hay next
winter In the first case the farmers
will have sure and ample return for
the money expended; while if they put
off the matter of feed supply until
next winter, il may be that baled hay
can not be obtained at any reasonable
price, as there has been general
drouth throughout the country. and
the demand viii doubtless be far great
er than the supply. Those farmers
will be wise who save all of their corn
fodder and save it early and well.

by order of Secretary Lamar railroad
indemnity lands, estimated at 25,OO0,-
coo acres have been restored To the
public domain and will be thrown open
to settlement The order of the Secre-
tary goes to the public with the appro-
val of President Cleveland and all of
his cabinet. OF this action by the in
terror department the Chicago Times
says:
Though public interest i'll the mat
ter has been discounted by the presi-
dents letter to the minister of the in
terror, some months ago, with relation
To the ease of GuilfOrd Miller, it is
still a matter of Importance, because
the immediate effect of the decision is
the re-opening for entry under the
homestead law of not less than 25,OOO,-
600 acres of fertile lands, within reach
Of railways, and because it is the
termination and reversal of a govern
ment policy of more than thirty years
practice that in every time, in every
case. has been neither warranted by
law, nor justified by any consideration
Of right"
The policy heretofore seems to have
been to grant the railway companies
everything that they claimed, accept
ing the assertions of the attorneys of
the corporations for the law in the
ease Now, however, the department
does not look to railroad attorneys TO
construe laws in which they have a
selfish interest; but backed by the best
legal talent, construes the laws in the
light of the decisions of the supreme
court, and sound principles of law and
equity, while public rights and inter
ests are ever regarded of chief inn
portance.
